Workers Compensation Insurance Coverage

Part I. Workers Compensation

This section of a Workers Compensation policy covers bodily injury by accident that occurs on the job and by disease caused or aggravated by the conditions of employment. For example: A worker falls in the work place due to a spill on the floor of the workspace. Some common benefits available to employees under this coverage are:

Medical treatment.

Permanent and temporary disability.

Death benefits.

Part II. Employers Liability

This section of the policy protects employers if they are found civilly liable for employee injuries that arise out of and in the course of employment. Employers' liability coverage helps protect your business against common-law claims such as:

Care and loss of services.

Certain types of third party claims.

Consequential bodily injury to a family member of the employee.

State Farm does not provide workers compensation in the following states:

Monopolistic States: North Dakota, Ohio, Washington, and Wyoming have a state-run workers compensation fund for Part I that require all businesses with employees to participate. The employers liability portion can, however, be added by endorsement.

States that are not monopolistic, but not available for coverage by State Farm are Maine, Montana, Rhode Island, and West Virginia. Massachusetts can be added as an insured location on an existing multistate worker's compensation policy.
